For one thing, your mom and dad are probably busy so they are giving you excuses when they could just as easily say, "I don't have time!"  But, then again, they might have told you that before.   Anyway, if you want to paint your room, go down and get the paint and do it yourself.  You seem to be old enough to make these decisions for yourself.  You're living in  your parent's home, so it seems you are asking them permission.  But really, you are old enough to take on the responsibility for painting the room.  If you can't get the paint, then buy your own.  It can cost up to $100 or more for paint and supplies, so keep that in mind before you start.  When you start painting, your family will probably pitch in, if only to make sure you do a good job.
